Last year I was shopping the aisles at Whole Foods, when I came across a sample table. I love being able to try the different items that stock the Whole Foods shelves as there are often many options in one category to choose from. Whole Foods is not necessarily the most cost effective, so food sampling is a major plus so as to not blow through a Benjamin experimenting to find the best olive oil (for example).

On this glorious day, I was greeted by a cheery food rep and selected a paper cup of Almond Cherry Granola from the table. I downed the cup…in a flash…it was so good. My son grabbed another and downed his as well (and requested to swing the cart back for more). After talking with the rep about the product, I found out that Jessica’s All Natural Gluten-Free Granola is made in small batches, keeping intact the homemade taste. Each batch is baked at a low temperature maximizing the flavor and crunch. Jessica uses only high quality, all-natural ingredients such as oats, flax, coconut, real maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, etc. Her granolas do not contain artificial colors, preservatives, highly refined sweeteners, trans fat, cholesterol, and they are non-GMO verified.

I love to eat this granola with milk, by the handful, and sprinkled over yogurt. It’s versatile and filling. The Almond Cherry has the perfect amount of sweet and tart from the dried cherries combined with a satisfying almond crunch. Next on my list to try is the Motor City Crunch which boasts chocolate chips and hazelnuts.

Jessica also gives back to the community donating 5% of profits to children’s, environmental, and celiac non-profit organizations. Well, after talking with Jessica, we have put together a fun opportunity for you! She has graciously offered, a granola pouch in each flavor for one lucky Hip & Healthy Kids reader.
